The story

The world after Book One does not stay still.

The consequences of the Rift spread through a changing world, while an older warrior discovers that the past is not finished with him.

The Butcher’s Lament deepens the mysteries, costs, and relationships begun in Book One—and forces Aargaranth to reckon with what it tried to bury.
